By now, members of Gun Owners of America should have received
pre-written postcards opposing the anti-gun health care bills that are floating around on Capitol Hill.

Please send in those postcards -- as it's very important for
legislative offices to see mounds of gun owners' mail being dumped on
their desks!

Now that Congress is back in session -- and the President has given his televised push on health care -- it is time for us to redouble our efforts.

To review the bidding:

Every major health care bill being considered in Congress would require many (if not most) Americans to be covered by insurance policies written by the Obama administration -- so-called ObamaCare.

Among other things, ObamaCare will almost certainly require, by
regulation, that all gun-related medical data be fed into a federal
health database -- pursuant to a $20 billion program Obama insisted be included in the $787 billion stimulus bill.

So, as a gun owner who doesn't want this data to be trolled by the
BATFE from a federal database, you might say:

* "I'm not going to buy an ObamaCare policy."

or

* "I'm going to buy the type of insurance that I want to buy."

Well, anti-gun Democrat Max Baucus (D-MT) has a question for you:
"How would you like to pay a $3,800 a year fine?"

That's right. In a legislative draft released this week, Baucus would
fine you up to $3,800 for not buying precisely the insurance policy
which Barack Obama orders you to buy.

So, what's going to be required under ObamaCare? And how much is it
going to cost?

Baucus isn't going to tell you that until after the bill is passed. We do know that, under the Baucus draft, a lower middle income family
could be forced to pay up to 13% of its income to buy an ObamaCare
policy. And, presumably, a middle income family would be required to
spend much, much more.

Take into consideration that the Baucus draft -- with its $3,800 per
year fines and its ObamaCare -related gun databases -- is the so-called "conservative" bill. This is the one that they're trying to
get Republicans to sign onto because it's so "conservative. "
The final Pelosi-written conference report will be much, much worse.

Incidentally, Obama opposed forcing Americans to purchase
government-approved insurance during the campaign, but guess what? He
lied.

ACTION:

1. Write your Senators. Ask them to oppose the anti-gun Baucus draft,
with its requirement that Americans purchase an Obama-approved
insurance policy or pay a $3,800 annual fine. This legislative draft
has not yet been publicly released; however, several news agencies have reported on its key features -- and these reviews are widely available on the Internet.

You can use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at
http://www.gunowner s.org/activism. htm to send your legislators the
pre-written e-mail message below.

2. Distribute this email far and wide. There are people that you know
who should be involved in the fight against socialized health care who are just sitting on the sidelines. Please forward this email to them and get them involved in the fight!

----- Pre-written letter -----

Dear Senator:

Please oppose the open-ended anti-gun mandates contained in the Baucus health draft. Among other things, Baucus-mandated policies, which would have to be approved by the Obama administration, will almost certainly require, by regulation, that all gun-related medical data be fed into a federal health database -- pursuant to a $20 billion program Obama insisted be included in the $787 billion stimulus bill.

So, what if a gun owner insists on buying the type of insurance he wants to buy? Sen. Baucus would fine him up to $3,800 a year.

That's right. In a recently released draft, Baucus would fine gun owners up to $3,800 for not buying precisely the insurance policy which Barack Obama orders them to buy. So, what's going to be required by this Baucus-mandated policy? And how much is it going to cost?

Baucus isn't going to tell us that until after the bill is passed. We do know that, under the Baucus draft, a lower middle income family could be forced to pay up to 13% of its income to buy an ObamaCare policy. And, presumably, a middle income family would be required to spend much, much more.

Incidentally, Obama opposed forcing Americans to purchase government-approved insurance during the campaign.

In short, please oppose the anti-gun, anti-freedom Baucus "compromise" and please let me know exactly where you stand on this issue.

Sincerely, Jim, the GOA and SDRRA
